GOOD QUESTION! But I think it's because the Dems want Limbaugh, who is viewed as rather crazy by all but the Repub base, to be the anointed speaker for the Repub party. It's a strategy that is smart in many ways, but will it backfire? Only time will tell.

Hew fiercely to Democratic principles, reassert the greatness of our American identity, demonstrate the true meaning of liberalism, of progressivism, providing opportunity, seeking justice and fairness, helping those in need, yes.

Spend our resources healing the sick, feeding the hungry, lifting the poor, cleaning the planet, rather than on war and more war, yes.

But expand Rush Limbaugh's profile and platform? No.

Everything must be done to marginalize Rush. Far too many gun-toting idiots hang on his every word. I've asked those around me that voted for McCain/Palin because of the "gun thing," if they still had their guns, and was answered with Rush says it's only a matter of time. He is a traitor to his country, a liar of the greatest proportions—and needs to treated as such.
